These are the first two OP Loftbeds built by Rob in California for he and his roommates. " Hi! I just wanted to thank you for your excellent bed plans and to share with you the 3 beds I've built from them. My roommates and I recently moved into a 3 bedroom apartment where the rooms are quite small, so we needed a way to make more space. We didn't, however, want 'collegiate-height' lofts, so I modified the plans to be just tall enough to fit our dressers underneath. Our lofts have about 3ft of clearance."

Alex in North Carolina tells us, "I just completed this twin loftbed for my Granddaughter Maggie. The underside is covered in an ultrasuade like material that I adhered with a spray-on glue. With the help of my friend Richard the project was completed in about 28 man-hours, most of which went into the sanding, staining and polyurethane."

Ali in California shared this with us. "We want to thank you for the great plans for our Daughters bed. We had so much fun painting, making, and decorating this bed. It was fun to let her pick out the paint and create it for her own little personality. She really wanted her name on her bed, so my husband came up with the great way to put her name on it. Now we have to get one done for the 8 year old who is very jealous of her little sisters bed. Thank you again for the great idea's."

David in California shared this with us. "I made this over new year and my daughter loves it. Now my son wants one too (I anticipated this and bought two sets of bolts from you guys:-). Now I'm on to the next bed. My son is drawing a picture of what he would like and I have to made to order. You guys design are great! Thanks a lot."

Michael sent us these pictures and tells us, "I looked for some loftbeds for my 2 boys for quite some time and I was never able to find what I wanted without paying $700-$1200 each and even then the quality was questionable for 2 active boys. I found your website and purchased the twin bed plans and then modified them to what I wanted. I am thrilled with how they turned out and as you can see, I have made 2 of them and they are mirror images of one another. Lots of sanding and several coats of polyurethane have made a nice, sturdy, high quality piece of furniture. Thanks OP!"

Mariela in Chicago writes, "Just wanted to share pictures of our terrific loftbed. We thought more of your customers might like to see the queen size. The tall queen works great, totally sturdy and our queen pillowtop mattress and boxspring it perfectly. We need as much space as possible in our tiny Chicago apartment!  Since we love stencils so much we eventually made it look like a cargo crate by stenciling it with shipping words like "Overnight Express", "this side up" and also our production company logo! We love it so much we even created an online photo album dedicated to it!" 

Tony in Tennessee tells us, "My eight year old daughter just loves her bed and tells any body that will listen about her loft bed. You cant find a better  designed bed in the country, this bed would hold a truck with no problem! Thanks For Everything!!"

Jennifer in Washington wrote to say, "My daughter 7 year old daughter, Michaela, LOVES her new loft bed. It really increases the amount of usable space in her small bedroom. The plans were easy to read and follow—I'm no master woodworker, but we managed! I love how sturdy the bed is...I couldn't find anything comparable in the retail stores around here. Thanks, OP!"

Windsor may rock out underneath his OP Loftbed, but his OP Loftbed won't be rocking! "I bought your loft bed plans after browsing the nearest Swedish furniture chain store, finding that none of their beds used any cross-bracing in their designs! The finished product is shown in the picture, with my friend Chloe up on top. I'm very happy with the result, sturdy and quite stable! I will definitely recommend your bed plans to others!"

Amy in Maryland sent us an updated picture, "Last week my mom (Nonna) was out for a visit & she constructed a 'fort' for underneath the bed--complete with windows, shutters & a mail slot!  My husband also built a ladder & Papa made him a name plate.  Just thought we would share some photos with you!!"

Leanne emailed us this picture and says, "Well, we have finished our 12 year old son's full sized medium height loftbed (which we added 6" to the bottom for added height) and are extremely pleased with the results. The plans were well drawn, our questions along the way were quickly answered (thank you!), and it was very well designed overall (compliments from my husband, a mechanical engineer.) This thing is built to last!"

Amy in Maryland tells us, "I just wanted to share a picture of the loft bed my husband built for our 4-year-old son.  We think it turned out great & our son just loves it!  My husband plans to add a few little extras to it when our son gets a little older. I posted pictures of the bed on my blog this morning & I have had a bunch of interested people. I plan to send them your way!"

Tonya sent us this picture and tells us, "My husband and I built this for our 14 year old daughter, we added the desk and wrap around book case to utilize all the space under the bed.  The bed is very sturdy, plans were great."

Perry sent us this picture of an OP Loftbed he built. "With 2 growing boys we’ve been wanting loft beds for some time now. Their bunk bed worked good when they we younger but we needed something different. Didn’t quite have the $900 - $1700 it would have taken for 2 sturdy beds. So I looked around for plans. Yours looked the most promising as far a strength was concerned. Man I had no idea!!! All four of my kids can get on the beds and it doesn’t even creak!! Shoot if there’s an earth quake we’ll be able to get on the beds and we’ll be safe. I spent $310 in all for 2 beds that are better than anything I saw in a store. The boys are so excited they can’t see straight. Thanks a million."

Susan in New Jersey built this OP Loftbed for her son, Bryan. "Our 11-year-old son was frustrated with the lack of floor space in his room.  He never had enough space to spread out board games, Legos, etc...  So I decided to build him a loft bed.  I found your design and was impressed with the engineering. The bed was very easy (and fun) to build.  Like others, I was nervous about drilling all those holes before assembling, but everything went together easily.  I think it turned out very nice!  Thanks for the great plans! "

Anthony in California tells us that "This is what a Magicians OP Loft Bed looks like. Notice the headboard display! I must say that the design is ‘Very Sturdy!' Often people think that something can be imitated by simply looking at a picture. Do not waste your time with this approach; spend the $10.00 for the plans. The OP design is very well engineered and thought out! A consumer could never buy a bed such as this from an ordinary furniture store. Take your time during construction and you cannot go wrong, trust me it is easy. You can find some commercially made beds that come close to an OP, but be prepared to spend some real folding cash…Thousands $$$$!"

Mary in Massachusettes built this short queen sized OP Loftbed "to keep the dogs off our bed in our room with a very low ceiling. I enjoyed this project, using only a circular saw, 2 long clamps on 2 saw horses, one corded drill and a cordless drill; and very little building experience! I already have a request for another loftbed in our house! Excellent design with easy instructions!"

Cathy in Michigan made this OP Loftbed for her 16-year-old daughter. "Since the ceiling is only 7 feet high, we had to modify the Medium and Tall OP Loftbed plans to fit. We added a two-piece L-shaped purple swirl laminated tabletop. We also covered the bottom of the mattress support plywood with sheet metal, so magnets can be used to stick "stuff" on the bottom of the bed. The best adjustment we made was to build two easily removable "stair steps" so that our daughter's cat, could get up to the bed and down again without assistance. Plus, these steps make it much easier for our daughter to get in and out of bed and make it MUCH easier to change the sheets."

Ted in Canada sent this picture made from just the free information on our site (and a lot of trial and error with the measurement, we presume). "We live in a townhouse and the bedrooms are quite small. My oldest son's room was very cramped with his old bed, desk and dresser crammed in. It has allowed us to free up a good deal of floor space by moving his desk and dresser under the bed. My son loves it!"

Michelle in Hawaii wrote to say, "This is the pride and joy of my 8-year-old daughter's newly decorated room. Full-size loft bed (from OPloftbed plans, worth every cent!) using layered futons for the mattress. It's so comfortable (and sturdy), we all want to sleep on it!"

Peter and his son Jeffrey in Missippi built this OP Loftbed for Jeffrey's dorm room. "The loft was built with hand tools - a drill and a circular saw was about it, and despite the lack of precision, it went together with minimal of 'adjustments'. It was great fun to build, and has generated a lot of attention in the dorm."

Ken in Florida tells us, "We went with a shorty and added 1ft. to it. Added some bracing around the bottom and an extra step so kind of like a mixture between a short and a medium. My 2 and 1/2 year old son Kadin was having difficulty with the climb so I added some grab rails made out of thick wall 3/4 inch copper pipe as they matched the stain on the bed. Great easy to follow plans that went together no problem. Thanks he loves it."

Rusty in West Virginia sent us this picture a very nicely built and finished OP Loftbed he built for his son. "Before tearing it down and storing it for the summer, I took this picture. Matthew (my son) loves his bed."

Sam in Louisiana recently completed a loft bed for his 9 year old son. "He LOVES his new bed. I completed the bed start to finish in a weekend. I chose the extra long twin bed plan, so that my son would have plenty of room when he goes to college. My son's really into anything camo, so we found camo bedding, and a mosquito net curtain completed the look. This is his favorite place to be in his room, and shows the bed off to any newcomers we might have. Thanks for the great plans!"

Christine built this loft bed (an extra-long twin) 3 years ago, when she was a sophomore in college, living in North Carolina. "I loved it so much that when I graduated this year, I brought it home with me - 600 miles up the east coast to New York!  It was the perfect way to save space, and I couldn't bear to get rid of it when I graduated!"

Chris in Indiana built this awesome OP Loftbed. "I recently completed assembly of a full-sized tall height loft bed built from your plans. This is the first woodworking I've done since Jr-High shop class! DOZENS of hours were spent sanding and finishing the bed with Minwax's Sedona Red stain, and multiple coats of satin polyurethane. I painted the underside of the mattress platform white to reflect more light, and installed dimmable track lighting. Overall I'm very pleased with how it all came out."

Darren in Washington sent us this merged picture. "I needed a bunkbed for my three boys who share a room. It had to be something sturdy (these are boys we're talking about) and something that would last for the next ten years or so. I found your site and it was exactly what I was looking for. I used the bunkbed plans and modified them into an L-shaped triple bed with reading space underneath one. I was a little nervous about drilling a bunch of holes before trying to put anything together, but in the end, everything lined up perfectly. I've never had a project go so smoothly."

Mike and Nicole in Arizona tells us, "I just wanted to share this labor of love with you. We decided to build this for our six year old daughter for Christmas. Your plans were quite easy to follow, even for a novice such as myself. Our daughter absolutely loves this bed! Her room is very functional now. We were able to get her dresser out of the closet too!"

Tawnya in Massachusetts writes, "This is the loft bed that my husband built for our 6 year old. It's wonderful, and she loves it. Now I just have to add the stamps of the pink butterflies and the red ladybugs like she wants. Thanks again, $10 is a great price for the plans."

"I just wanted to drop you a quick note on how good your plans were. I just finished my son’s bunk bed which I customized to fit over his dresser, and to utilize his box springs. It is a solid design, and a great bed, even with framing lumber (which I used several pints of wood filler to make it look awesome). I also used mdf instead of plywood for the mattress plywood. Thanks again. " - Bill

Laure is a very happy Mom! She tells us, "My autistic daughter, Gabriella, loves to sleep in her new bed now. Thank You!"

Sampson's owner writes, "This is a great design. My bedroom is very small, plus I just got a new dog who has to stay in a crate when I am not home, so the crate took up room I didn't have to begin with. Now, his crate can sit under my bed and I am also going to move my computer desk under there too. I have just enough room to sit. This bed is extremely sturdy. I don't yet have a guard rail because I am in the process of fabricating a removable rail that only goes up at night so my comforter can lay straight and the bed is easier to make. Thanks OP Loftbed! I love my new bed!! Most of all, I love all my new space in my room!!"

Bunny in Minnesota writes simply,
"Hi this is the one I built. Thanks! I love it!"

Brandi in Pennsylvania tells us, "We just wanted to say thank you for the wonderful loft bed plans. Our seven year old daughter Danielle is THRILLED with her new bed. The instructions were easy to follow and it is extremely sturdy. We added a desk underneath using MDF board and created some smooth curves to fit her chair. Now our son is wondering when we are going to build him his loft bed!! Everyone comments on your design and sturdiness. I have been telling everyone about your beds and and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a way to increase room space."
